Hi Bob, it has luff tape, but no UV strip, so I would not want to keep on headstay. Yes, I can lower Genoa and hoist Staysail instead. I assume it will look like the one on the picture.
Do you think attaching tack to one of the hooks on bowsprit and hoisting with staisail halyard would work? Oh and I do not plan to use Genoa and Staysail at the same time, maybe in a future when going downwind I can raise it into a second track and put down main.
You may need to clarify the terminology a bit. Those "tack hooks" you see on either side of the forestay attachment are for capturing the tack cringle of your head sail. This is used if the boat is not equipped with a furling system.
There is really no inexpensive or really logical way to run a double-headsail rig on your model. Doesn't mean it cannot be done.... but first you'd need to justify it.
Your rig is similar to the rig on Christian's prior E-32/3 that he sailed solo to HI and back. I would posit that you have no need for any sort of inner headstay and just need to start getting in lots of sailing time and become familiar with your boat.
Sail selection is the one place where I would suggest a change in the "way we learn to do things" nowadays over the 80's when this boat was designed.
A lot of sailors still believe that large overlapping headsails are required because "racers" used to have to fly a 150 when racing.
While those big sails are indeed good in really light air, your easily-driven hull form will likely perform perfectly with about a 110 full hoist furling jib with modern vertical battens. Yes. Really.
Since we went from the "just like every other sail boat average size" 135 genny to a modern 95, we have lost only a little speed in under-8-knots-true, and it works wonderfully well past 20 kts true when we reef the main.
And further, when you mention running twin head sails running downwind, this is certainly do-able when reeling off the days sailing down to Tahiti, and I have some friends now visiting in NZ, that did this a lot on their voyage so far. This takes some other running rigging changes, however.
They built a "twizzle rig" for their Jason 35, and it was a great success.
As a new owner with a learning curve ahead, any sort of rig changes would seem like something for the future
after you get in significant ocean time with your stock boat. It was designed for open water, after all.
